pony carts, and finally the picnickers
clustered around an immaculate table
cloth spread upon green sward, you will
have fathomed the secret of how much OF
the time is spent here. But you will have
missed the principal amusement, for it
has not yet been mentioned.
1t is enjoyed only in the evening.
When the sun has made its bed OF rose
colored clouds in the west and sunk
into them, the strains of well-dis-
ciplined orchestra float over the now
lilac hued lake, tonight from Mime
tonka, tomorrow night from Lake Park,
next night from third or fourth hotel
with it's surrounding cluster of cottages;
for there is never a night, except it be
Sunday, when in one or the other OF
three settlements band does not send
its tempting invitation of melody across
the water to the other places and the
nimble dancers there abiding. Dancing
is in this Western resort what bathing is
in the Eastern places-the piece de resist
ance of each days programme OF amuse-
ments, Just as the women OF Nara.

needless if they tire themselves so that
they must rest through most Of the other
hours in the twenty -four, so here in this
Western summering place they plan their
ball-dresses and they engage with such
enthusiasm in the rhythmic whirl that
with many of them no vigor is left for
any other diversion except an occasional
boat ride and the epidemical cheap novel.
| do not know how one could more highly
praise place to which people resort to
escape the heat than by saying that dane
ing is the prime amusement, as it is here,
for that must be a cool place where there
is hop every night in the summer.
But boating ranks almost with dane
ing. Some nations that front the sea
can boast of no such fleet of war vessels
as the pleasure boats amount to in num-
Der here. Some summer statistician has
counted the craft and found that there
are more than 400 boats, nine of them
being steamers and three of these being
regular Mississippi packets, with the tall,
flaring smokestacks that strike an East
erner so oddly. Ladies learn to be strong
and skillful oarswomen by constant

Paul wanted the nearest big lake to
rush . out to on a pleasant evening,
and leave their wives and babies at,
while they were whizzed to and from
business in the hot cities thirty min
utes away. At any rate, it is very
pretty lake-very like the ones that are
resorted to in the East, but larger than
the most of them, and SO peculiarly
shaped-being formed like a devil-tish-
that it is full of pretty bays and coves
and narrows, and seems either to have
no end or to be always coming to an end,
according to how you look at it. These
afford sites for many separate and dis
tinct settlements and groups of cottages.
Of the considerable places on the lake,
with shops and churches, there are but
four, but there are dozen cottage group
ings. The three principal hotels are ri
val railroad enterprises, and are models
of their kind.
The lake is eighteen miles long if you
sail straight ahead from one extreme
point to anothes, after the fashion of
measuring an eagle from wing-tip to
wing-tip, and yet if you should start to
row along all its shores the journey
would lead you 300 miles. But which
ever way you make its acquaintance it will
always reward you with the prettiest
p ,ssible rising banks covered with invit-
ing groves that are now seen to but par
TALLY conceal pretty cottage settlements
and again are temptingly unused and al
Turing to basket parties, to children and
to those who are in that sentimental
frame of mind toward one another that
begat the ancient phrase "Two's COM
pany and three's none" Here and there lit
tie single plank wharves and picturesque
lighthouses jut from the leaf-clad shores
into the crystal water, and somewhat less
frequently one sees a bathing house or
row of bath-boxes by the lakeside. These
suggest two of the principal pastimes of
the summer idlers, and when you have
seen the young men and women who
march along the roads, fish poles in hand,
the other couples in their gently rocking

All. where are the girls of long ago,
The sage inquireth sadly;
That we used to WOO with an homage due,
And serenade so madly?
Where are the dresses, plain and neat,
That the modern lass renounces,
When a gown looked sweet with a simple
pleat
And an edge of modest fiounces?
Where are the rosy cheeks and lips
Which from love held not asunder?
And the lights that dance in an honest
glance?
We wonder-O, we wonder.
o, sage! the girls of long ago
To the vision nightly rally;
For the maids of age do now engage
In the mazes of the ballet.
And the dresses plain, of which you sing
With such poetic passion,
They wear them still-with the founce and
frill
Cut decoIlete in fashion.
And the rosy cheek, to the modern maid
Red lips are still allowed her,
Wiener she'll choose, if she only use
A little rouge and powder.
Yes, the pretty dears are with us still,
Though the fashions strangely dress 'em;
When they laugh and smile-they may put
on style
And what they please-Lord bless 'em!

practice on the water and very encnant-
ing many of them look in their sailor
costumes and their trim and pretty boats.
There are some skillful sailors to manage
the gull-like catboats, and there is water
enough to give them plenty of sailing
room but pretty as they look and greatly
as they enhance every prospect on the
lake when they are speeding their single
wings over the water, the Western women
do not crowd their decks and cock
pits as the Eastern women do, either
because they are not so accustomed to
sailboating, or because they have whole
some fear of the storms that sometime
leap suddenly, like devouring monsters,
upon this tiny cup of crystal, lashing its
surface into waves that have been known
to break in binding spray over the tops
of the lighthouses and to send even the
smaller steamers scurrying into harbor
In some places the water is $50 feet Deep
so that there is enough of it to provide a
closer imitation of salt water even than
did the railroad company which put up
the biggest hotel, which looks so home
like to an Eastern man. Fishing repays
those who are fond of the sport, for the
lake is full of black bass, rock bass, pick
erel. croppie and suntish.
Ihave not been bothered by mosquitoes
and have been assured by a great many
apparently frank and honest persons
that these musical but too familiar war
blers do not claim Minnetonka for one Of
their resorts; but if this is true the people
of the principal one of the settlements
in the lake make very serious mistake
in decking and fortifying their cosy
dwellings with wire netting in the way
they do Some of the houses have a
wall of this woven wire around the out
side of their verandas, some have door
and window frames of it, and still others
cover the fronts of their balconies
with it so that every house has it and the
St. Landry democrat., 1887-08-20

display is more conspicuous than ever
saw it, even in those parts of Cape May
and Atlantic City where mosquitoes are
a fearful pest and where no one pretends
to deny the fact. But as | say no mos
quito introduced either himself, his song
or his quivering dart to me, so that can
do no more than advise the happy people
of the place to take down their nets if they
are of no use or to refrain from fibbing if
mosquitoes really do gather there when
certain winds or other atmospheric con-
ditions prevail.
Minnetonka is not only the resort of the
heated inhabitants, of the twin milling
cities of the upper Mississippi-it is also
popular place of retirement for
Chicagoans and very considerable
portion. of those who support its hotel,
boardiM-house and cottage life come
from Southern Ohio, Missouri, Iowa,
Tennessee, and even Kansas and Louisi-

Any extreme condition is difficult to

to comprehend extreme loneliness by say
ing that the pioneers now breaking

LAKE M1NNEToNKA, July 3O.-Al-
though the West and Northwest have no
seaside or salt water bathing of their
own except in the Great Salt lake, in
Utah, there is a pretty good imitation of
an Eastern coast resort where | am, in
Minnesota. The great hotel here, $50
feet long, four stories high and sur
rounded with an enormous veranda, is so
like one of the regulation caravanseries
on the Atlantic seaboard that it reminds
